View From my "Honey Hole" stand.
 

Well I finally made the purchase of a digital camera. While on stand today in my favorite stand that most of you long time members have read me write about, I took a couple pictures of what I stare at for hours. The stand is in a white pine tree that over looks an overgrown CRP field bordered by a cornfield. You can see in the distance in the first picture a rock quarry and in the background of the other picture is a recreation area that is also a perserve. I watch people jogging, walking their dogs etc. This stand has produced tremendously for me in the past on numerous whitetails and 2 coyotes. Once the ground freezes I'm going to develope a major food plot in the middle of the CRP field to hold and sustain the whitetails over the winter and keep them coming back. Just thought I'd share this little hot spot of mine.

Looks like a great spot....u see alot of movement from there?

Looks like a pretty good spot. How far is it to the edge of the field in the second field?

RE: View From my "Honey Hole" stand.
 

that looks like a nice spot. it looks like one of my spots too hunt at my friends farm open soybean field corn to left and junk yard hard wood ciders to back see alot of action there .

Nice spot ,to bad the farmer dont leave just the edges with some crops for the winter

RE: View From my "Honey Hole" stand.
 

Aquakeeper, yes I see quite a bit of movement there. Especially a couple seasons back when just some of the corn was still standing during my archery season. I saw 7 different buck that morn and shot my best to date.

Dairy King, it's 25 yards to the edge of the corn field. When it's standing, the deer walk the edge or just inside the CRP field at my edge. It's a natural funnel area connecting two woodlots, one being thick for bedding.


kerr73, thanks

cardeer, I agree thusly why I'm going to plant several good food plots. The pine tree stands in a hedge row and I'm planting on both sides of it. Should help tremendously.

Very nice looking area, I bet its really nice when the corn is up.

Cool pix, thanks for sharing. I always find it interesting to see what everyones hutin' areas look like from around the country. Gotta love that CRP! Heres a pic of one of my my CRP stands

Cool Rob, I've always wondered what your spot looked like from reading your descriptions, thanks for sharing.

This past october I finally took pics from my favorite tree also. I've been meaning to for years. I should post them too.

Looks like one of those stands from tv. ;)

Rob you've got a spot there that look's very similar to one of the spot's that I hunt ,and if it's as good as it look's ,we should be getting some pic's of your harvest real soon.

One more question....how high up are you. The pictures seem alot higher then some of the other pictures i've seen. Do u prefer a high elevation or are my eyes just playing tricks on me this late at night?

RE: View From my "Honey Hole" stand.
 

smokyghost, thanks but I really like it when the corn is up but several rows are cut around the perimeter. That's what happen the year I took my largest buck to date and saw 6 others including one that was larger than the one I had just arrowed.

IL-Cornfed, great looking spot as well. Is your stand located where deer like to cross that fence?

rybohunter, yeah go ahead and post them, I'd love to see them. Like IL-'s, I bet it's also great.

HighCountry_Bruteforce, I kinda think that way while I'm in the stand, it reminds me of the shots I see in Kansas rather than in PA.

nubo, the 3.5 year old buck I shot for the bowhunting contest was shot from a stand about 50 yards behind this stand looking over a different CRP field and borders two other cornfields. This stand hangs in a hedgerow which joins two woodlots and my other stand hangs just on the other side of this hedgerow, the deer either walk this field or the other and I can barely see it...the hedge is about 40 yards across and thick. The buck I shot came from the corn and entered the woods in the second pic and walk and was walking through the woods when I called him out...as read in the story then.

Aquakeeper, this stands platform is about 26 feet high. That's the way it worked out with the branches. My pull up rope is 25' long and barely works out for me. That's the stand high I prefer when possible. Again, it's 25 yards to the edge of the cornfield and the bucks and yotes I've shot from this stand have been 25 yards and under.

That look great, how far is it across the field?

RE: View From my "Honey Hole" stand.
 

Wow, both those look like great spots. As I sit here I can just imagine a nice buck sneaking through both of those! Cool idea, I would like to see other hunters spots as well. And Rob, I do appreciate your "stare at for hours" comment. Sometimes seems like a home away from home but I love the tranquility I feel when sitting in my stand.

RE: View From my "Honey Hole" stand.
 

Texas Hunter, in the second photo, it's 280 yards across the field to the other point of the woods, same in the first picture, it's 275 across to the tip of the other woods.

Blodg, both photo's are from the same treestand, the first pic is a shot from the left and the second is to my right. Yeah, you stare at all this for hours and you begin to get a photo memory and all of a sudden things look out of place and it's a deer...LOL

RE: View From my "Honey Hole" stand.
 

Nice pics guys. Looks like some beautiful areas.

...and they make me wish I was out hunting. :)
